bypass passwords
 
I need to bypass a password. My friend sold me his laptop he got a couple years ago and he forgot the password. Its an IBM Thinkpad running on Windows 2000 Professional. When it boots it goes directly to a bland screen with a padlock in the upper left corner. I got through that and it says press F1 to run bios setup and thats as far as i can get. Is there a way to access msdos and delete the password file or what can i do. ive tried the programs on the internet and i get nothing but html errors. Please help.

is there a way to reset the hard drive

You can reset the BIOS password, but not the harddrive one. I go to school at RPI where everyone is issued an IBM laptop. The first thing they say is, "if you set a hard drive password and lose it, you're paying for it to get replaced"
So i think y oure out of luck, sorry dude.

What is the model of your TP?

If you cannot get your money back from the knuckle head whom forgot the password, and you do not want to spend the $85.00 (minimum) to have the password removed, try this site: http://www.ja.olm.net/unlock/password_recovery.htm
